Residents hoping to learn more about the proposed casino will have plenty of opportunities in July: Foxwoods has several public presentations and community meetings planned.

Foxwoods, which has proposed a $1 billion, 660,000-square-foot resort casino at the intersection of Interstate 495 and Rte. 16 in Milford, will be presenting at four different subject-specific meetings next month as well as hosting more informal community meetings.

The public presentations include:

- Traffic patterns, plans and infrastructure will be discussed on Wednesday, July 10 at 7 p.m. at Milford High School

- Water and sewer impacts and infrastructure upgrades will be discussed on Wednesday, July 17 at 7 p.m. at Milford High School

- Social and economic impacts will be discussed on Wednesday, July 24 at 7 p.m. at Stacy Middle School

- Environmental and site design matters and a general overview will be discussed at Wednesday, July 31 at 7 p.m. at Stacy Middle School

During each of the meetings, Foxwoods officials will give a presentation on the subject at the beginning. The town’s consultants and department heads will then comment and ask questions.

Following the consultants’ discussion, selectmen will be able to ask questions of both the Foxwoods officials and the town’s consultants.

Finally, Milford residents and business owners will have a chance to sign up to ask questions. Each speaker will be given three minutes and all are encouraged to ask questions rather than comment.

A Foxwoods spokesman said the information presented by the developer will be more extensive on each topic than what was presented at the June 3 meeting where the casino developers gave a 90-minute presentation.

At a meeting last week, selectmen told attorneys from Shefsky & Froelich, representing the town on the casino issue, that they were not pleased with the format of the June 3 meeting since it didn’t allow them to ask questions.

“What I heard at the public presentation and from selectmen is they want to see the backup (data from impact studies),” said Kim Copp, an attorney at Shefsky & Froelich. “So we set these up by subject matter to allot as much time as we could for what we heard are the major concerns.”

Copp also noted that the last meeting is a kind of “catchall” that will allow people to ask any follow-up or additional questions that may arise on any of the other topics.

Foxwoods has also planned several community meetings where residents can ask questions of officials in a more informal setting. One is scheduled for Thursday, June 27 at the Hoboken Citizens Club, another on Monday, July 1 at the Portuguese Club and the third is on Tuesday, July 2 at the Double Tree Hotel. All are open to the public and will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
